Parts of a Light Microscope

Description

Learning to use a microscope starts with knowing what every part does. This skills resource gives teen scientists a structured way to learn and test their knowledge before they start practical work.

Inside you will find a labelling exercise to identify the parts of a light microscope, a reference table covering what each part does and when to use it, seven exam-style questions written in the style used in biology examinations, and a full mark scheme for self or co-marking.

It is designed to be used alongside the how to use a light microscope guide. Once you are confident with the parts and technique, the plant cells investigation pack is the natural next step.

Suitable for ages 13 to 16. Works well for younger, confident students from age 11.
